You know when you draw a vaguely humanoid drawing on purpose and you’re really proud of yourself? Well, hyperrealism artist Ayogu Kingsley is here to completely embarrass you. Born in Nigeria, the hyperrealism painter mimics three-dimensional textures and figures on his flat canvases. Brilliantly re-creating the surface textures of brown skin, the kinkiness of natural hair, the counters of the body, and even the physics of natural elements. Each of his portraits is utterly captivating and demand the full attention of anyone who views them. Interested in having a portrait commissioned. You’re in luck, Kingsley is now taking submissions, here.
